 of my drum.

' lVucho7vsvi was the storm-bird which sits in the north and makes the gales by 

 the movement of its wings. 



^ Lunipe^uin was the ordinary water-spirit. 



^ Atlvusknigess was an invisible being who roams the forest armed with a stone 

 hatchet with which he occasionally fells trees with a single blow. The Indians ac- 

 counted in this way for the sudden fall of an apparently strong tree. 



*The Appodumken, like the Lttvipegwn, dwelt under the water. He had long 

 red hair and was the favorite bugaboo used by Indian mothers to frighten the 

 children away from the water.
